We are using a CName aliased to ghs.google.com The expiration time on the record is 15 minutes.
The naked-domain was an error introduced in my wording of the question. The user (from two locations, from school and from home, in West Virginia) is properly using the www subdomain in the request. In any case, we forward the naked domains at a DNS level. We initiated SSL on Monday night/Tuesday morning. There was a flurry of users from that same area in West Virginia having this issue. We have no reports of other users having the issue. So I was thinking there might be an ISP that has not refreshed the DNS cache. johnP On Thursday, July 5, 2012 4:58:42 PM UTC-7, Cayden Meyer wrote: > > Hi John, > > > On 6 July 2012 05:33, johnP <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Question: >> >> a.
